  1. Quantum Communications attelecom wavelengths Nicolas Gisin Hugo ZbindenToni Acin, Claudio Bareiro, Sylvain Fasel, J.-D. Gautier, Ivan Marcikic, Hugues de Riedmatten, Valerio Scarani, André Stefanov, Damien Stucki, Sébastien Tanzilli, Robert Thew, Wolfgang Tittel, GAP-Optique, University of Geneva Q crypto over 67 km Time-bins:  high dimensions  robustness of non-maximally entangled qubits  Q teleportation at telecom 

  2. Drawback 1: Rayleigh backscattering Drawback 2: Trojan horse attacks The plug&play setup Bob Alice • Perfect interference (V99%) without any adjustments, since: • both pulses travel the same path in inverse order • both pulses have exactly the same polarisation thanks to FM

  3. QC over 67 km, QBER  5% + aerial cable (in Ste Croix, Jura) !

  4. Company established in 2001 • Spin-off from the University of Geneva • Products • Quantum Cryptography (optical fiber system) • Quantum Random Number Generator • Single-photon detector module (1.3 mm and 1.55 mm) • Contact information email: info@idquantique.com web: http://www.idquantique.com

Gisin et al., Rev.Mod.Phys. 74, 145-195, 2002 Quantum teleportation as Q repeater (even without Q memory) At telecom , the QBER is dominated by detector noise:

  16. qubits and entangled qubits can be realized using time-bins. entangled qudits in arbitrary high dimension d can be realized. partially entangled qubits are robust over 11 km. Q teleportation with: telecom wavelength two different crystals (spatially separated sources) from one wavelength (1300 nm) to another (1550 nm) first time with time-bins (ie insensitive to polarization fluctuations) over 2 km of fiber and 55 meters of physical distance mean fidelity :  81% both in the lab and at a distance Conclusion = the possibility to teleport the "ultimate structure" of an object from one place to another, without the object ever being anywhere in between
